Online Introduction to Mindful Parenting

Overview

Join us for a 3-week introduction to mindful parenting, led by teacher Nicole Carlson. In these three 1.5 hour online sessions, she will discuss ways that parents can use mindfulness approaches to help them respond wisely to their children's needs, while decreasing their own feelings of overwhelm and stress. This short course is focused on parents of babies and toddlers, but parents with older children are also welcome. All levels of mindfulness practice are welcomed--from beginners to people with regular meditation practices.
